HISTORIC SHIMA'S RESTAURANT 1978 HALEIWA HAND COLOR B&W GICLEE PHOTO ON 8X10"

Description

***NOTE- MOST PRINTS ARE MUCH SHARPER, WITH BETTER COLOR & SATURATION. WE ARE HAVING AN EBAY CAUSED ERROR: POOR  SHARPNESS, COLOR, & RESOLUTION PROBLEMS WITH THE PHOTO YOU SEE HERE. IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR EBAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM - SORRY. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS!
This is a very rare quality giclee print from an original hand printed black and white silver halide gelatin photograph by longtime Hawaii professional photographer Bill Romerhaus that was hand colored,
cropped, shrink wrapped, and mounted on a single 8x10 inch backing board **and includes backing board as part of the print which you can see here (see photo)
, with caption, hand color artist credits, and photography information on the back, of the soda bar of Haleiwa Town's Shima's restaurant in the small shopping complex across Kam Hwy from the Waialua Courthouse, in 1978. This was a favorite early morning local restaurant for many sugar cane workers in the 1950s thru seventies and featured low cost spam and eggs, hotcakes, great milkshakes, and sundaes from the bar.
Please note:
it is also a little grainy as it was copied on Velvia transparency film from an original hand colored black and white print print. It looks like a water color, was featured in an article about the photographer in Aloha Magazine, that won an award from the Hawaii Visitors Bureau, and is a very nice historic and artistic photo.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who may have dined here, likes this area's historic places, hand colored photos, or who may have lived at, or visited the north shore in the past.
Our hand printed silver halide gelatin original and hand colored photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii. We're proud to mention that many of our photos were used  used as background artwork in the top rated CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0". The photos are the 'old style' traditional film based images printed using an enlarger from a negative on real photographic paper and archivally processed by hand, not by a machine. Prices are less than you would pay retail at a gallery and  production costs are lower than most folks so we want to offer affordable quality art for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. It is also available in 20 x30 inch size unmounted, please inquire.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
e-Bay's transfer process and the computer screen may make the photo look contrasty and slightly darker or lighter, depending on your monitor brightness and contrast settings. The color hues may look slightly different and may have a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen. Please be aware of this. **When it is attached to the single mat 8x10"backing board you will be able to see its color around the borders of the print which you can see here. An 11x14 inch frame (or larger) with a custom cut mat from a frame shop or art store is the suggested way to display this photo. Prints are permanently mounted to the acid free backing board using an archival photo adhesive and cannot be easily removed from the backing board without damaging the photo. If you want to use a larger frame and can't figure out how to do it with the photo mounted on the backing board, contact us and we can explain how it can be done. This is recommended for best visual and artistic impact in displaying this photo, although many people are happy using a standard 8x10 inch frame and displaying the image as is.
